Lookout Landing

Powerplay coming up for Phoenix

The hell with this game

Yes, Go Coyotes!

In 9 months of living in Arizona I literally saw one piece of Coyotes merchandise being worn

And that one guy looked ashamed

I don't like them because of the fans

Everybody has shitty fans

AW CHRIST

If a Griffey home run is the only offense we get tonight,

my cookies won’t even taste sweet.

Airborne PAST second!

Wow Griffey actually hit something solid?

Leave the game Greinke!

It's a bad sign once Griffey starts hitting you.

Especially if you are Ms. Griffey

He did it!

OlSalty - April 27, 2010 reply

Always retire when you're on top!

Let's see how many more miles we can get out of this rotting horse!

There is a very strange chant going on

I LOVE YOU, PAVEL

Our opponents will be sorry when we bust out of this slump.

ThundaPC - April 27, 2010 via mobile reply

Come on MILTON

I don't have TV access.

Pinch runner for Griffey or no?

Nope

Nope!

Only increasing the probability of a hammy strain or something minor yet powerful enough to keep him out of the lineup.

MB is getting seriously pissed at those bees.

If I were Greinke, I'd walk to my car with a friend.

Unleash your fury, Rabidly Molten!

What's the expectancy of Milton getting tossed if he gets rung up here?

RALLY

What did Milton do to the Dugout there?

Or was that the Ump? Or the fans?

He signaled safe

Well duh.

It looked like the ump.

My question too?

Did they ever explain it?

brokejumper - April 27, 2010 reply

I think he was asking the ump to make sure he was safe.

The ump started nodding immediately after, so that’s what I’m going with.

Way to go Milton.

Haha he made a large safe signal to the fans on the 1B side.

Oh god.

He thinks he's people.

What's the point of antagonizing KC fans?

How can you steal from someone who has nothing?

Great defense. Wow.

Bradley with the emphatic signalling of safe. What a loony.

He was doing it to the crowd

because they were booing him, and then they booed him even harder. I love Bradley.

Why is Greinke still here!!!!!!!!!!!!

To shatter our hopes and dreams

Don't complain

He’s tired now

Time for a Kotchrocket

C'mon Griff rally!

Milton Bradley is a strange fellah.

Please Casey!

Be awesome!

hardly awesome

phil333 - April 27, 2010 reply

Kotchrocket?

Not jinxing it, just asking if anyone else is feeling the pre-Kotchrocket vibe.

Betcancourt and bad defense!

That is upsetting.

SHUT UP KC

He did slide with his leg way up in the air

and caught Callaspo in the groin area.

Bradley with a slliding kick to Callaspo's nads.

Someone asked who would reach the Mendoza line first yesterday between Bradley and Figgins.

And it’s Bradley by an infield single!

Rally rally the pitcher's name is Zack

Nice hard slide into 2nd.

Good baseball. I’ll give that to him.

Bradley takes a shoe right to Callaspo's genitals. What a gentleman.

First HR of the season Adam?

Please. Sadness.

All I see is "In play, outs recorded."

I am sulking.

What a great pitch to swing at there

I'm really starting to dig Gameboard's approach to baseball.

HAHA anyone watching the Royals broadcast?

Yeah that was pretty strange

Wish I had that in gif form

DrunkAmerican - April 27, 2010 reply

D'awww

Walk, Adam!

Oh wait, Jack Wilson is on deck. Nevermind, swing away!

What.

NO FUCKIGN WAY

Ugh bad fuckin call

phil333 - April 27, 2010 reply

That's been a strike all day.

Don't normally see the lefty strike called on a righty though.

6 inches inside...really?

Yup.

If players can get fined for tossing their equipment, umpires should be fined for that shit.

Doesn't make it a strike.

Doesn't matter if the ump calls it, it's a strike

Bitch all you want but that’s life for you.

Tishcida Jeez

Moore god damnit.

You KNOW he is going to call that, you’re the fucking catcher.

What

He has been calling that fucking pitch all night long for every single pitcher.

Adam Moore has been catching half of them.

So what?

That wasn’t an especially hittable pitch.

It almost hit him and was two inches away from his hands.

Even if it’s a strike, you don’t swing at it.

He's supposed to be able to know with certainty the exact location of the pitch with respect to the ump's zone and actually process that in the time of the pitch?

Well, pretty much...

That’s called hitting.

But

He still was right for not swinging at it.

On a pitch that bad?

Haha ok. You guys gave me shit the last time I told Tschida to get his eyes checked.

Make up your minds.

These are two completely different things.

You’re pissed that Adam Moore didn’t swing at a pitch that would be difficult for a righty to handle.

I've seen plenty a lefty open up on a pitch that far inside.

Is it impossible for righties to do so?

When it's 2 feet off the plate.

Yes.

It's not impossible, but it's a suboptimal swing to pitch at

And considering it wasn’t a 2-strike count he did the right thing to lay off of it.

And

then he swung at it to protect with 2 strikes. A good choice.

Everything but the result of that AB was solid.

What do you want him to do, swing at a pitch up and in?

Still doesn't mean he should swing at it.

We need Moore dingers

I don't believe this was ever funny.

I believe it is always funny but I am open to other views

We need dingers in general.

Ball four!

Go go Adam Moore

Dish must be on tape delay

You all are about 30 seconds ahead of me!

brokejumper - April 27, 2010 reply

Shit?

Mariners put speeeed on the basepaths!

Let’s put this game innnn mmmmmooooooottttttttiiiiiiiiooooonnnnnnn…………………………..

Jeremariner - April 27, 2010 reply

Lets go Adam! CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP! LETS GO ADAM!

clapclapclapclapclapclapclapclapclap

Clap Clap Cl--ap.

WATCH OUT FOR THE BENDY THING

FUCK OUR LUCK

FUCK YOU

God fuckin damnit

phil333 - April 27, 2010 reply

Once again,

dildos.

Damn you Rizzs.

Eh, solid contact. Good hit.

God damnit.

Actually a solid hit.

Fuck!

Good Job though, Adam! I still love you!

Great at bat Moore. I like it.

Why does the basball gods hate us?

East Coast bias.

Because we can't conjugate our verbs.

Great at bat, good contact, not much else to do

Nice contact by Adam. =(

Good swing, bad result.

Good hit, bad result.

I hate having to be happy about that.

119 pitches.

Well Adam Moore looks way more comfortable at the plate now.

It's the little things!

3 runs scored in our last 25 innings.

That is noteworthy.

Is it?

Cliff Lee can't win games if we can't score :(

Same with Felix :(

Zack

DrunkAmerican - April 27, 2010 reply

The bad kind of noteworthy.

Reply fail

Yeah, and the thing was I clicked reply.

It’s happened to me twice tonight.

Okay, time to unload on relievers.

Theirs, not ours.

I would love to know what Yuni thought of that grounder

He's wondering why the M's have five players in the infield.

Nice range, Jack.

Man I still love seeing Wilson range up the middle.

I love how our offense does not seem to show life until the 6th inning

Or after.

There were some solid hit balls earlier in the game that just didn't find grass.

The kind of life that still doesn't produce runs, yes.

Least Greinke is gone.

We said the same thing last time...

Bradleys Angry

Fucking bees.

Thought that was crushed.

Milton just shushed the crowd.

I can see why everyone hates him though honestly.

I sure don’t.

I wished more players did shit like that...would make a boring sport a little more entertaining.

It'd be like the NBA and NFL!

I'm really coming to love Milton...

seems like half the shit he pulls is just putting the fans in their place for harassing him.

Coyyyyooottteeeessss

Only if they're tearing appart what is left of Junior career

Forgot Sweeney

They're all upside!

How do you tear apart nothing?

Oh noooooo

You get one of those “PLACE HAND HERE” internet high five things.

Is it a space coyote that sounds like Johnny Cash?

I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Okay you guys: BELIEVE BIG! BELIEVE BIG! BELIEVE BIG! BELIEVE BIG!

BELIEVE BIG! BELIEVE BIG! BELIEVE BIG! BELIEVE BIG! BELIEVE BIG! BELIEVE BIG!

Every single fan in Phoenix is standing

They have fans?

It's fucking hot in Arizona

If I know anything about Zack Greinke it's that his bullpen loves to blow leads for him to try and prevent him from getting the Cy Young.

Except he won it anyways...

And he was crazy.

That’s important too.

They're just trying to keep him out of the spot light...

seeing as how he gets anxious easily.

I'll cop to it.

I can trace my dark mood these last few days directly to the lack of run production by the Ms.

SMILE GOD DAMMIT

EVEN IAN SNELL SMILES

Heaven forbit the Mexicutioner gets some innings.

Frank Francisco just pitched a 1-2-3 9th for the save.

Miracles do happen, people!

BELIEVE BIG!

Spectacular Wilson.

I always thought it was pronounced roo-pee

Like the money in India?

Aye

It isn't.

Yes I know

It's "roop"

No, in Hyrule.

Those are prononced Ruppee's.

Wait, are the two monies pronounced differently?

No, I just made that up to be confusing.

Touche, sir. Touche.

Rhymes with Yusmeiro Petit?

Ichirocket!

ICHI BUNT

That last pitch looked about the same as the one he singled on earlier...

Nice bunt by Ichiro.

That was badass

CMON FIGGY

I love Ichiro's runface.

Come on Figgins.

Let’s go man.

Less suck please Figgins

I still love him lots.

GIVE US DOILIES!

Don't swing!

BELIEVE BIG!

Walk. Calling it.

Bold prediction.

yesssss

Walk. Please.

LET'S GO!

CMON GUTI PLEASE

Gotcha fuckerrrrrrrr

Well thank god.

Sex time?

I haven't been this excited for a Guti AB in awhile

DrunkAmerican - April 27, 2010 reply

GUTI GUTI GUTI

OY OY OY

DrunkAmerican - April 27, 2010 reply

Figgins is a two-outcome player.

Three: Walk, K with a pitch down the middle, K with a swing and a miss with a pitch down the middle

What?

Thats still 2 outcomes.

SEXY TIME???

TRADEMARK FIGGY WALK

Also comes along with the trademark Figgy Swing and a miss K with a fastball down the middle

Two of the fastest players in the league on base for one of our best hitters?

We all know whats coming!

Please let the Royals' bullpen thwart another Greinke win.

Queue Royal's bullpen.......

Cue

unless they’re all standing in a line.

There's 8 of them!

That powerplay was fucking spectaular.

No kidding

GUTI FUTI TIME

No

Hey guys what's going on here?

MAYBE SOMETHING

Guti time

Guti time

I don't want to jinx it

The no-hitter?

Ehh a few innings ago...

Maybe someone should jinx Griffey being terrible.

Dammit don't swing

I'm nervous.

Come on GUTI even if you dont get a hit, draw a walk

oh wait..

I'm gonna go ahead and call it.

GUTI 3 RUN HOMER.

nemo1 - April 27, 2010 reply

Way to go out on a limb there fishy

BELIEVE BIG!

We get it, please stop

Sorry

No worries. I appreciate the enthusaism.

PLEASE DON'T LET US DOWN MARINERS

:) :) :) :)

:) :) :)

YES YES YE YES YES

Neato.

Atta boy

GUTZ SEX MACHINE

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

HOLY CRAP

Ichiro just touched home plate and we got a point!

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

We're just going to give up the lead in stoppage time, don't get so excited.

GOD CLEAR THE BOX YOU FUCKERS

Swish

Ahh, crap! We need to rush down the alley to hit the wicket!

Touchdown!

Wait til Lopez picks up the split.

Tejeda really should have had that mark

Shut up it's Australian Football

But he stuck it right in the Bullseye!

Callahan goal for the universe point win!

It's called a run

Seriously people

It had been so long I forgot what it was called!

WOO HOO WOO HOO WOO HOO WOO HOON WOO HOO

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Wu?

WOOOOOOOOOTIERREZ!

Gutz is so cash

As Tim Tebow would say

“He’s ball, he’s juice”

bluemax - April 27, 2010 reply

I fucking hate that guy.

I heard he really likes you though.

He loves me with God's love. He's praying for me, I'm sure.

I'm pretty sure he just gets a boner for Jesus.

And anyone who happens to be his head coach.

Which makes Pat Forde really jealous.

As a Ravens fan I quite like him.

GOD

Playoffs!

Two-out thunderrr

One!

Too bad it's only one out.

Thunder AND LIGHTNING

This game is so riveting I found myself not paying attention to it at all.

YAYYYYY TIE BALL GAME

It is wieird seeing the Mariners score.

I know!

A Guti AB is a goddamn beautiful thing to watch on Gameday

Pleasssssssssssse Lopez!

That works!

nemo1 - April 27, 2010 reply

I wonder if Josh Rupe looks as sad as he does in his Gameday picture right now.

I think the biggest decision I'm going to make this summer

Is do I get the home or away Franklin jersey?

ungoreatstefan - April 27, 2010 reply

Away or alternate

Yes

The whites are way to easy to stain. Especially with Dixie’s BBQ.

Plus the greys are just more versatile pieces of clothing

Customized jersey with "Sex me Gutz" on back

no

Not a fan of the away gray.

I am a sucker for alternates and throwbacks.

Oh god

I hadn’t considered throwback, I think my decision is made.

ungoreatstefan - April 27, 2010 reply

I bought an away Guti jersey about a week ago.

Choosing away was indeed a big decision.

This just makes me feel bad for Zack

No Mercy until the game is over

What about feeling bad for us?

According to his gameday photo he has no emotion anymore

We are still losing....

Say that again!

Boy did I log in at the right time.

Guti makes me happy in the pants.

Brandon League does duckface in that commerical

His tooth-to-gum ratio makes me sad.

Because he only has a bottom lip

Lopie, I beg ou

Oh great lopez....

jackyz - April 27, 2010 reply

Just no GIDP

So we can get…..to…..Griffey…

Gutierrez has seen 27 pitches today in 4 at bats.

Please hit one past a diving Yuni.

Please hit a diving Yuni in the face.

Oh goodness

It’s Jose Lopez

Hey buddy

fuck you

No piling on

Wow.

DOILIES!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now that's a doily!

A what?

Description, please.

I think Dave is going to have a heart attack.

Stay healthy old man!

YES YES YES LOPEZ WOO HOO WOO

YES YES YES LOPEZ WOO HOO WOO

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

AYOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

FINALLY WE MAKE THAT WORK

That should be a double doily

That was horrendous.

That was so doily.

NO WIN FOR YOU GREINKE!

Doily!

WHEEEEEEEE

What in God's name was that

is that real?

Zack!

DrunkAmerican - April 27, 2010 reply

Mariners baseball!

HOPE IN THE FACE OF DIFFICULTY!

Give Tejada credit for getting in front of that rocket

He’s got a family to think about

THAT IS A'S BASEBALL!

That's a Lopez double if I've ever seen one

Best double ever!

Ooh, lucky lucky break!

That is the worst double of all time.

Hahaha

That’s ruled a double. Awesome.

Soria got like 3 inches off the ground

You mean Tejada?

You mean Tejeda?

Yeah, maybe.

Fuck me

Soria?

Best Double in the universe.

How was that a double? Jesus

Because he got to second! No error or fielders choice!

He made it to second.

The pitcher really didn’t have an easy attempt at it.

Everyone back on the bandwagon!

GRIFFFFFFDAWG SWINGIN FOR THE HOMER

He should swing that hard more often.

refuse2lose2010 - April 27, 2010 reply

Wow, gameday doesn't do that justice...

A double to the second baseman… I can’t wrap my head around that at ALL!

Squeeze!

Last Fan Of Jose Lopez - April 27, 2010 reply

All y'all faggots can suck on my dick

Please post more.

No, the rarity is what makes it awesome.

Please post more.

Crow taste pretty nice right now

I heard you died choking on Jose Lopez.

As far as I know they're not related.

You are the best poster ever

I soon as I posted this, I replied to it with, "God, I turned into the worst poster ever."

But then I deleted it.

This is gay

Dinger right here

OOOGLY BOOGLY SCHMOOGLY.

I can’t think of legitimate words in the English language that properly express the jittery emotions I am experiencing at the moment.

Joy?

Optimism?

HOPE

Is it similar to seeing Guti walk on the field, but shorter, pudgier and with less range?

ORGASM?

Orgasm is probably the most accurate.

Holy shit that first one was a ball?

Its right in the middle of the strikezone!

I'm pretty sure gameday just messed up on that

Hey, when he grounds to second it probably won't be a double play!

SON OF A BITCH I THOUGHT WE WERE LEADING

Walk off time!

Bad news buddy.

I meant the Royals

Its only a matter of time

averagegatsby - April 27, 2010 reply

That's bad for the Mariners...

We're setting up for the famous Yuni walk off bunt error

Pleeeeeease get the lead.

98?

Poor Griffdawg

WALK SHIT

Oh crap, for some reason I thought the Royals had 3 runs.

Tie game, woo!

GRIFFDAWG!!!

BWAHAHAHAHHA the Royals pen is so awful

BRADLEY I TRUST YOU

Now we're cooking with fire

Kermit. - April 27, 2010 reply

Please Milton.

STICK IT TO THESE FANS HARD!

Bradley GS to say "Suck It Kansas!"?

Missouri...

I mean't Kansas City, but had a premature... well... post.

Let's go Milton let's go! Let's go Milton let's go!

DINGER

That was some pretty rotten luck

And I love it

Bradley is gonna rape Chen

Where is the .gif of the postgame interview when you need it...

Here you go

:/ :) :/

PERFECT!

Dammit!

I was gonna credit you

You forgot the pedo wink

I believe it is summarised by

: / ; ) : ) : /

Even better

Crap now do I retract my rec to AN?

Just flag him

he sucks

How many recs is a flag worth?

It's gonna cost you the entire poetry fanpost

Is there a website where I can go view the overall standings?

Sure

I think the credit check people will do it for you. My bank gives me one free recs check per year. Where do you have your portfolio?

That is just so complicated.

I can’t understand it.

I've had it with these Mother Fucking Snakes

on this Mother Fucking plane.

I hope the "no piling on" rule doesn't extend to on the field.

Hooray for the Royal's Bullpen.

I fear Milton will blow his lid if he gets some kind of base hit action

And I will love it.

From Robinson Tejeda to Bruce Chen

No wonder Greinke listens to so much Dashboard Confessional

With all the baseball stars with anxiety disorders, I'm amazed that Greinke doesn't... None of the other victims had Kansas City Bullpen to deal with.

Katal's back / back again

Come on, Bradley.

Tell your friends

:(oyotes

That was a sweet goal off the face-off though.

WHY IS THIS GAME NOT ON TV

It's on Versus.

Versus is completely black for me.

Don’t know what is going on.

Verus is not authorized at my house

I know two other people with the exact same cable package as me that get it just fine

Ratings.

You don't want to watch anymore anyway

I like hockey as long as I don't have to pay attention to it over a long span of time.

Re:D Wings!

Phoenix sucks. I hope that whole city explodes.

RYE AND MUSTARD

Greinke in the dugout.

Fail

Success because it's Greinke.

I get it, because he is emo

Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me.

No politics.

I remember being quite high on Bruce Chen

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE BRUCE.

I'm glad Byrnes-y is pinch running so we can watch his majestic strut

Even if it is just strutting back to the dugout.

Optimism!

I wont mind if he tackles Callospo or Yuni

Buh?

Gameday doesn’t show him on the bases.

Pinch running for Griffey.

There we go with the gameday schizo catchup

HES TRYING TO KILL SOMEONE

You missed!

Juuuuust foul.

TISCHIDA HAHAHAHA

Thinking about it, that hit by Loapez wasn't a doily so much as a lace coaster

Well that might be the first time that's been called a ball tonight.

Ohhhhh shit

Run!

OUCH HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

YES YES YES YES

WALK HARD

Haaard.

Will take that

aussie_m's_fan - April 27, 2010 reply

Weeeeeee!

LEAD LEAD LEAD

hahahah I LOVE MILTON BRADLEY

Whoa, we're winning!

WOOOO FUCK WALK!

3-2 BABY

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!

See him flip that bat back like a HUGE dick!

What

I love how emphatic he is even when he walks.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

NIIIIIICE!

Wow

I’ve seen Tischida ring guys up on that 2-2 pitch a few times tonight…

scottykimberly - April 27, 2010 reply

Time for some Kotchmania!

Gameday is messing up.

We'll take it!

How annoying can we get?

Leanna - April 27, 2010 reply

TSCHIDA REDEMPTION

I have a question for one of the smart guys here.

If a switch hitter has a huge platoon split why wouldn’t the hitter hit from his dominate side more often?

Depends

That's what I thought.

Hillman isn't the same w/o the stache.

Oh god Kotch vs. a Lefty.

Grand Slam

Book it. (Not really, though)

scottykimberly - April 27, 2010 reply

I dunno.

He looks very scared against them.

Guess not.

scottykimberly - April 27, 2010 reply

Wooooooooooo!

Joke's on you, Trey Hillman

Kotchman knows judo, has reverse split!

A win tonight would really mean a lot to me.

True fact.

Bruce Chen is good

For us

I realize now that sarcasm is difficult to communicate via game thread

Kotch!!!!

Milton Bradley is my new favorite mariner

I love how he has been teasing the Royals fans all game

jackyz - April 27, 2010 reply

So I really don't understand.

How could other team’s fans not love Milton Bradley?

WTF KOTCH

ITS BRUCE FUCKING CHEN

That was a pretty perfect pitch.

And Kotch doesn’t handle lefties well.

No Chatspeak?

My bad

WHAT THE FUCK

But a nice job limiting unecessary fucks

so, break even?

Goddamn it

cocks

He CANNOT hit Lefties.

not what we wanted

aussie_m's_fan - April 27, 2010 reply

Please let Aaaaardsma pitch well in the 9th.

I fear Sean White in the 8th.

I believe Sims said Lowe is warming up.

Better.

Lowes up

They said Lowe is up

Earlier today I was ranting that not since the first part of 2003 has a two+ run deficit appeared surmountable.

That said, it’s been that long since we have had a team that walks!

Really? I thought 2008 was the worst.

It was, but it's been a while since we've had a decent offense.

Maybe 2007.

I think you need to re-read his comment.

Taking all the way.

We have batted around for the fourth time this month

I honestly don’t remember doing it all since we batted around against chicago in a Sunday August game vs the white sox in 2007

Shit.

Blowers you have no idea what youre talking about

Bruce Chen has shamed us

We really should of gotten more runs there ....

Yeah. Bases loaded and 1 out needs to be at least a run.

Oh man

here

I'll take tha

Now if the bullpen can just hold on...

Famous... last... words...

Boo you Moore...

Adam Moore can't take the 90 mph heat down the middle.

The question is, would Rob Johnson have been able to?

Striking out twice in a row with the bases loaded is fucking unacceptable at any level.

Put the ball in play.

Agree

Especially against Bruce Chen

Dont expect too much now

I know.

I know. But…but…just TOUCH a ball. Just a little nudge…

Shh...Progres

Sorry.

I’m not going to back down on this one. Simple baseball. That shit is not excusable.

Cavs game is over so I got to watch the BB, K, K.

Lopez's hit was the weirdest double I've ever seen.

doublemazaa - April 27, 2010 reply

Will Lowe hit 100 on the gun?

I love this gun.

Nice emphatic throw Milty

He's going to tear a rotator cuff.

Knock on fucking wood, damnit

If you're hoping for a Milton Bradley injury

I hate you.

He always does that

Straight Bill!

I liked the mic picking up the, "There you go! Fuck!"

I want that poster above my bed.

99!

The gun is fast

I know!

I just want to see triple digits

YOUR gun is fast

I don't understand.

Premature ejaculation

That's true

This comment makes me dry heave

I can moisten it for you

Quite quickly I understand.

And often

At least you recover quickly.

I am curious as to how

Fire away!

gross!!

Gameday has the same though

well, 98-99. But, we knew that about Lowe so I’m not clear what the excitement’s about.

Mark Lowe throws fast plus fast gun = triple digits!

PITCHfx in Kansas City is poorly calibrated

So... robots may not be the answer?

The location is okay

The velocity is inflated.

It's all Sundance.

It said 98.6 on gameday.

These close games sure are fun to watch.

Unless they're not

Good point.

Im not going to bring it up

99! x2

Fast gun.

198!

Been working on the times tables, eh?

I know my 2's and some of my 3's!

Staying one step ahead of the kids, I see!

I always struggle with the 10's.

7 and 8's :(

The other day a kid taught me a trick for 7x8.

It goes “5, 6, 7, 8”
So, 56 = 7 × 8.

This comment..

has changed my life.

Jason X USN - April 27, 2010 reply

56 is the only that I can remember over the 4th one for each

For eights, pretend it was times 4.

Then double the product.

Example: 9 x 8

9 × 4 = 36
36 × 2 = 72

Wait did a kid just teach you a trick for doing multiplication

Yyyyyyyyyeah.

I had to take my shoes off.

9.332621544394415e+155 x2

Get your anger out Milty!

It’s ok.

My God can't we have a left fielder that throws normal

Chavez!

sanford_and_son - April 27, 2010 reply

The excitement level of that inning formed the biggest fucking bell curve ever.

I like.

HAHAHAHA Milt!

The Bradley fake throw is so cool

Bahahahahahaha I love you Bradley.

I mean it was no Ichiro deke into his glove, but that was swell.

Flick em off Bradley!

Yessss

Bradley did the fake throw!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE YOU MILTON

Did MB just do the Ichiro fake-throw?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Milton fake threw the ball in the stands and held it in his hand.

Classic fake the ball to the crowd.

Bradley with the pump fake

Three flyouts to Milton Bradley.

Good stuff.

I love that guy

Definitely one of my favorites on this year’s club

Cougriculture - April 27, 2010 reply

Ha Ha. Did you just see Milton fake the throw.

That is fucking awesome. Ha Ha.

He did that in Texas( i think) too with 2 outs-hilarious.

Never seen a player do that. Gotta love that guy.

Ichi did it in New York last year and then said he was trying to get the fans to boo him

Missed that game.

It was amazing.

I wish I could know what was going on with Milton...

… but I’m listening on the radio and they’re obviously going to ignore everything. Stupid blackouts.

srm07 - April 27, 2010 reply

From Drayer earlier

@shannondrayer KC fans on Bradley all night. Didn’t get a finger but did get a cap tip as he ran back to the dugout after breaking up the double play

See stuff like this is fun.

It’s not malicious or overly mean-spirited. It’s just entertaining.

I want to be Shannon in my next life-what a perfect job.

It kills me that she was unemployed for a while.

Wait, what?

KOMO 1000 fired her halfway through the 2008 season.

I love her too, she seems so nice!

The players seem to like her also.

drm1125 - April 27, 2010 reply

Mid-August

“She was told it was a cost-cutting move as the station nears the end of its contract with the Mariners. KIRO recently signed on as the Mariners’ flagship starting in 2009.

“I’m a baseball reporter, so it makes sense that if baseball’s not going to be (at KOMO) I wouldn’t be there,” Drayer said. “I just didn’t expect to not be there today.”

Drayer was KOMO’s clubhouse presence, doing interviews and analysis for the pregame and postgame shows and traveling with the team. She had been working without a contract this year because of KOMO’s uncertain future with the Mariners."

Dick move by KOMO

but at least it gave people more time to write in to 710 to encourage them to hire her.

They did let her out of the no compete clause, or whatever they have in broadcasting.

That part was pretty nice of them.

Kermit. - April 27, 2010 reply

I'm not even sure she had one- she was on a year to year contract

Oops, guess I got that one wrong. Remembered talking with someone about that

Thought they had to release her to work in the same market. Thanks for the correction.

Kermit. - April 27, 2010 reply

I love her Edgar story about sitting on the plane with the players.

KIRO took their time picking up her contract after KOMO lost the M's broadcasts

How long has Shannon been working with the Mariners, anyway?

I don’t think I was aware of her until 2008.

She was working for KOMO1000 for a long time.

Same role she has now with 710ESPN.

Ahha.

Thanks.

8 years at least (i think)

She started at KJR as a general reporter

KOMO hired her away in ’03 to be the Mariners reporter

Times in 2003:

“And where KIRO’s postgame call-in show was anchored around the robust New York Vinnie, KOMO hired former Mariner Mike Blowers to give callers the chance to get an ex-player’s viewpoint after every game. KOMO also hired Shannon Drayer away from KJR to follow the team on a daily basis, apparently one of just three such reporters in the major leagues.”

Is she married?

What a catch.

I love Milton Bradley.

We have him on a two year contract right?

Fear - April 27, 2010 reply

Untill 2011

basically swapped years with Silva, who got 4 years starting in ’08

Ya I knew it was basically a swap of contracts

I just wasn’t positive how many years were left on Silva’s contract. I didn’t hear about Silva’s contract initially until well after it had been announced, and every year since I’ve always thought to myself, “His contract must be expiring this year…right? We’ve had him for so long.”

Fear - April 27, 2010 reply

Milton wouldn't know what to do if the fans weren't on him.

Can we get some insurance please?

I love Milton Bradley

Easy one of the best players to watch

Hahaha oh Milton

I LOVE YOU MILTON

Milton Bradley is awesome

Okay Milton you just won my heart.

Hahahaha Milton!

I love Milton.

That was awesome.

BRADLEY IS GOING TO SHANK THOSE GUYS

I am buying a Bradley jersey TONIGHT

Milton Bradley is LL as a player

Can Red convert?

Except less publically gay.

Milton does not have that much riding on a Griffey homer

You can't say this for sure

Gihyou - April 27, 2010 reply

I doubt he's involved in the LLent

or whatever it is called.

Gutierrez must be terrified to shower

Really, if Milton was LL as person,

Gutierrez would really just be seeing Milton drop the soap a whole bunch.

It's not gay in prison

Milton Bradley is literally the best

DKCecil - April 27, 2010 reply

Oh god Milton is AWESOME.

Why would anyone ever dare to piss off Milton Bradley

Milton Bradley is the coolest motherfucker ever.

We need a best of Milton highlight reel

with absolutely no plays of him hitting the ball.

Move aside Franklin

Milton’s my new fave

Stormton - April 27, 2010 reply

HEY FOO! GIVE THAT BALL TO THAT MAN FOO!

If he signed that then it's 100 times better.

I can't believe that actually happened

Gihyou - April 27, 2010 reply

I thought he was gonna throw the second ball

at the KC fan.

WOO FIGGY

Chone!

YEAH GET THAT WATERMELON

MB for

team captain

Until Kenny retire

Give em a "C"?

Holy crap Figgy!

Figgins got on base! And without walking!

That broke the two true outcomes.

At least we know Milton likes Seattle fans

STEAL

Pitch out?

Yep

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE

Wonder what the record is for pitches in 5 plate appearances.

refuse2lose2010 - April 27, 2010 reply

I am seriously thinking about buying a Milton Bradley jersey right now

Are you literally made out of money?

I didn't buy the Luke French jersey and money isn't a problem

Can I have a Brandon League jeresy

If you get me a bottle of Isabelle Proximus to trade, sure

Is this a promise?

I'd pretty seriously consider it

Do you happen to have one?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Lost-Abbey-Isabelle-Proximus-/250621431275?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a5a338deb

.

Yeah. Milton has a fan for life after that stunt.

gayyyyyyyyyyy

Damn Guti We still love you

Why wouldn't we?

Time to bring in the DA.

Hold on time.

I'm predicting that we'll win or lose.

Who's up?

Everyone ready for a nice comfortable bottom of the 9th?

I got my inhaler ready

This is going to be gayer than the Sounders road schedule

I didn't realize we had an away match in San Francisco

International friendlies at Sodom and Gomorrah

Lemme go get my vodka

waldo rojas - April 27, 2010 reply

My heart is afraid

BRING IN BRANDON LEAGUE

Please DA, don't suck.

I get the feeling that hating on Dave Sims has been done to death here,

but Dave Sims sucks and I want him to go away.

GOD NO

Seconded

We love Dave Sims here.

And no, this isn't sarcasm.

He’s great.

Umm

Incorrect.

He's allow to express his opinion

He can.

But he’s wrong to say that he has been “done to death here.” Assuming that means mocked and ridiculed. People here tend to like him.

Just an assumption. Most fans i know in the outside world don't like him. I am definitely of a faulty assumption.

Probably.

"definitely guilty*"

Meh.

To be honest, I don’t really like or dislike him. He doesn’t drive me insane, but I’d rather listen to the other Dave.

He was probably saying incorrect to everyone not liking him.

Correct

So are we.

I think this site is generally okay with Sims.

svart aske - April 27, 2010 reply

Dave Sims is wonderful

but you are entitled your opinion.

Jason X USN - April 27, 2010 reply

Dave Sims is awesome and you are wrong.

Tough noogies

He won’t be going anywhere for a while

Nope.

Incorrect.

I love him.

No, no, no.

Please explain.

I understand why people don't like him but the reasons people don't like him are why I love him

Frankly, having heard other broadcasting crews for other teams, I think we're spoiled rotten.

What are you talking about!?

Hawk Harrelson is the man! pukes
In all seriousness, I can’t say enough good things about our broadcasters (besides Rizzs)

I like Rizzs fine on the radio

Yep

I like all of our broadcasters. We’re really lucky. Rally Fries are the only thing I dislike about our broadcasts, and I rarely watch TV so I can ignore it.

They don't do those any more!

For realsies?

That makes me really happy!

I meant to ask about this.

I haven’t seen the rally fries all season and assumed they had done away with it.

Bringing back the Funk Blast and removing the rally fries? Those are changes I can get behind.

Jason X USN - April 27, 2010 reply

I still hate him.

Why was this again?

I can’t remember why most people hated him.

I realize that every broadcaster is phony

Rizz is both over the top and really bad at it.

Ah, okay.

I like him a lot, but don’t care enough to defend that opinion.

http://mlb.mlb.com/sea/ticketing/ebrochure/positivelyrickrizzs.jsp

Example!

Really, because that made me like him even more

Liking Rizz is comparable to liking fake tits.

Oh no?

Uh oh

royalcurve - April 27, 2010 reply

Campyness is acceptable in broadcasting when it's genuine.

Fake boobies are disingenuous.

Gonna go ahead and close this subthread for Corco right now.

OlSalty - April 27, 2010 reply

It's cool I don't mind those either

Agreed. I enjoy his voice.

Rizzs on radio is the reason I hate him.

I can’t stand that thing he does where he goes to station ID, comes back and (as the crowd is losing their brains) then calls the play as if it hasn’t happened yet.

This, plus he fucking babbles on about fucking nothing, as if the game is just a distraction to whatever boring story he's telling.

Have you heard Rob Dibble?

I think Rob Dibble might be worse than Hawk Harrelson.

This is hardly possible

This is umpossible.

TrustBaseball - April 27, 2010 reply

Flagged.

Only if we bring in Gus Johnson instead

We'd be on the edge of our seats for every second of the game.

We'd also have heard him say Heartbreak City alot over the last week

I hope to God that the rumors of him announcing Madden are true.

That would be the most exciting thing to happen to the franchise in awhile.

Since Devin Hester got that 100 speed rating.

Niehaus would be dead by March

I would be so happy if we had Gus Johnson as an announcer.

Totally underappreciated by CBS and should be on a higher crew

Finding out that Gus Johnson called a triple OT game this year and I missed it ruined Sounders Opening Night for me.

Oh its yuni

I couldn't take a lose here.

It would be pretty damn awful

I'd feel a lot better about a Felix Day loss with a comebacker Grienke sneakaway.

Aaaallright Aaardsma.

Woah, BENDING THING

A lose would top

off my horrible night.

*loss and LLLJ

My

bad.

Cause you had a bad day...

Like Daniel Powter?

Was that 3 breaking balls to one batter?

The camera guy today sucks.

1 DOWN

Another conviction for the DA

God here comes another stoppage-time goal for a draw

They're putting Greinke on suicide watch.

svart aske - April 27, 2010 reply

Oswalt too

BENDY THING

THAT WAS NOT A STRIKE

The best part is if we win this game, Shawn Kelley gets the W

FUCK

Hold on time.

Hes setting up for the DP guys, dont worry

You called it!

And Jeff will make me a permanent moderator.

Deal, Screenshotted

Whew, its Podsenitk

Noooooooooooo!!! I see what's coming, but I wish I can unsee it

Its Podesnik!

I don't have much confidence in DA tonight.

Let's go Pirates?

waldo rojas - April 27, 2010 reply

If Posednick goes deep I am calling in sick.

You and me both.

Come on, DA

I cannot afford to have my heart doc on speed dial during the 9th.

C'mon DA. You don't get saves, you get convictions!

Thank you man.

No Junior didn't go yard.

I'm glad Sims is now saying "Case closed" rather than "The D.A. has ruled!"

It makes a lot more sense.

I don't remember that one. He's used Case Closed a lot.

I wanna hug him

On his privates

Sweeney tried that.

He won’t try it again.

Milton! Milton!

Oh my god Milton I love you so much.

AHAHAHAHAHA

“I was actually a KC Royal for about an hour, but it didn’t work out.”

MILTON SMILE!

Only took an hour for Milton to piss KC off...

That’s why they’re booing.

Hahaha Milton.

If we win tomorrow

back at .500 where the M’s had to be until Cliff Lee got back, hmmm.

All day I thought we would win, because baseball is crazy.

Then we were losing, and I changed the channel.
Turned it back on in the eighth to see us score the winning run.
Hooray.
And there’s Milton, referencing Chutes and Ladders.
